Just in case, I think I saw a good deal on enclosures in my dealmac.com newsletter recently. Hmmm...
The Triumph Diamond 5.25-inch FireWire enclosure, model no. AM-346F, costs $25 at PC Micro Store. It's the lowest price we know to be available by $2. Add around $6 for shipping. >[link]More: [link]
They aren't the cheapest, but these are my preferred Firewire enclosures. I own 5 of them right now.

They also have some open box ones, same warranty, for $8 less. Not much of a discount, but it's something.
I love you guys, but I should probably mention that the whole new computer thing is very contingent on me cleaning the apartment and finding a pile of money under the couch. It's a sometime-in-the-next-six-months plan, not gonna happen this week.
Yes, I've purchased their open box ones with great results. They also have FW800 versions as well as USB 2.0/FW combo enclosures. They a very compact for a full size drive enclosure (Which is important to me since I have two of them with me at any given time) and they are also silent, there are no fans in the enclosure. The only drawback to that is that they use a line lump power supply.

S'ok Jessica, it's always good to pull out the old geek suit and try it on for size.

I love that pile of money under the couch. I just sit on it and keep thinking about what I'm going to buy with it. It's like the time I discovered that about $3000 would buy me the top of the line laptop that was out at any given moment. That discovery made me so happy I thought I had the three grand. So long as I avoid looking under the couch, I won't be disappointed.
And as long as you don't buy the laptop, you have an extra $3000.
That's right! I'm rich!
Now I can plan my new robot. One that growls.
